Saucy Dog “Live in the present.” Music Video

A powerful rock number by Saucy Dog, created as the support song for the 101st All Japan High School Soccer Championship.

Released in December 2022, it was also included on the mini-album “But Really,” which came out in July the following year.

The lyrics, which portray choosing “today” again and moving forward despite past regrets and anxiety about the future, strike a deep chord.

The layered feelings of having grown stronger by facing one’s weaknesses, the proof of truly loving something, and the resolve to run in one’s own way gently push listeners forward.

At the tournament final in January 2023, the band performed the song at the National Stadium, filling the venue with excitement.

It’s a track we especially hope reaches those approaching graduation and taking their first new steps.

With gratitude for the days spent with friends, it gives you courage to walk the road ahead.

On those increasingly chilly, long autumn nights, Saucy Dog’s love songs gently nestle up to your heart.

It’s a slightly bittersweet mid-tempo number that makes you look back on days spent with a beloved partner.

Everyday scenes—like songs sung in the car or late-night conversations—link with the listener’s own memories and may just make your chest tighten unexpectedly.

This track is included on the mini-album “But Really,” released in July 2023.

It’s a self-cover of a song originally provided in October 2021 to voice actor Gakuto Kajiwara, now imbued with the warmth unique to a full band sound.

It’s a perfect song to sing tenderly and with feeling when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.

Kemuri

Saucy Dog is a rock band immensely popular among men and women in their teens and twenties.

When you think of Saucy Dog, their high vocals stand out, so many teenage boys may have assumed from the start that aiming for a high score with their songs wasn’t realistic.

That’s why we recommend “Kemuri” (Smoke).

Among Saucy Dog’s tracks, it sits on the lower end of the vocal range, and the vocal lines emphasize sustained notes, so there aren’t any complex pitch jumps.

Within their catalog, it’s a song that makes it particularly easy to aim for a high score, so be sure to check it out.

It’s a song by Saucy Dog that evokes sparkling summer scenes and the sweet-and-sour memories of young love.

Sung over a driving, exhilarating sound, it captures the charm and fragility of a wonderful romance, and the fleeting brilliance of youth that will never return.

It’s sure to deliver a bittersweet yet heartwarming emotion to listeners.

Released as a digital single in July 2020, the track was also included on the mini-album “Take Me” in September of the same year.

The music video, produced in collaboration with Honda’s youth support project “Honda×Music: Wanna Ride a Bike? MUSIC FES.,” expresses the dynamism of youth racing forward on a motorcycle.

Whether you’re feeling the wind on a summer drive or suddenly reminiscing about your school days, listening to this song may bring back the flutter of those moments.

Saucy Dog “Kusege” Music Video (Theme song for the ABC TV/TV Asahi drama “My Diary”)

Saucy Dog’s “Kusege,” which has also drawn attention as a TV drama theme song, captivates many with its heart-touching melody.

The guitar mainly provides chord backing, but be mindful not to strum aimlessly—listen to the other instruments and aim to play as part of the ensemble.

The bass should center on solid root notes as the foundation, while delivering the melodic phrases in the interlude with a sense of songfulness.

The drums support the track with a steady 8-beat, and by emphasizing the contrast between the delicacy of the verse and the power of the chorus, the atmosphere deepens significantly.

I hope each player strives to perform in a way that closely supports the melody.

Saucy Dog “Shion” Music Video

If only I’d made a different choice back then… This is a song that presses on the heart with the sadness of facing that kind of regret.

In Saucy Dog’s portrayal, it holds memories that are beautiful yet painful, along with a heartfelt prayer to one day meet again.

Released in October 2022 as the theme song for the film “To Me, the One Who Loved You,” it was later included on the album “but right now.” Rather than merely romanticizing the past, it captures the way we live while carrying our present loneliness—something that will surely tighten many hearts.

You’ve broken up, and yet you still can’t forget that person.

It’s a song to listen to on a night when you’re wishing to get back together, holding your memories close.

Be yourselfSaucy Dog14rank/position

Saucy Dog “Be yourself” - Lyric Video from ARENA TOUR DOCUMENT - (from 6th Mini Album “Sunny Bottle”)

This is a gem of a message song that sings about the importance of living true to yourself.

Included on Saucy Dog’s July 2022 album “Sunny Bottle,” the track centers on self-affirmation and a forward-looking way of life, wrapping the universal struggles and anxieties we all face in a warm, comforting sound.

Through the portrayal of a protagonist grappling with the gap between ideals and reality, it conveys the beauty of not demanding perfection.

Chosen as the ending theme for San-in Broadcasting’s “Teleport San-in,” this song is perfect for those unsure how to face themselves or seeking music that gently stays by their side.

Its gentle key of G major and relaxed tempo are sure to soothe the heart.
